Registration is handled by the state, not Rock County. Operators get a DATCP tourist rooming house license, and if a town caps rental days they must notify the local clerk in writing when the first rental of a 365-day period begins.
Rock County does not run a countywide STR registry. State registration is the DATCP tourist rooming house license under Wis. Stat. 97.01(15k). Where a subdivision limits rental days (rentals of more than 6 but fewer than 30 consecutive days), Wis. Stat. 66.1014(2)(d)1. requires the operator to notify the clerk of the political subdivision in writing when the first rental within a 365-day period begins. Cities like Janesville and Beloit may add their own registration or licensing steps; check with the municipal clerk or, for unincorporated town parcels, Rock County Planning & Zoning.
Failure to hold the DATCP license or file a required local notice can trigger state enforcement and local citations under the applicable municipal ordinance.
